Du Busi Attacks Shrek? Xiao Wu Runs Away! The Generous Tang Ya Wants Mu Sheng to Take Qian Renxue?
Hearing this, Qian Renxue hurriedly asked, "What Soul Beast? Where is it?"
Mu Sheng said, "A Heavenly Dragon Horse. It's extremely fast, and its attack power isn't weak either. It's north of the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, in a place called Light Valley."
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Mu Sheng stayed where he was and shook his head. "The core region is too dangerous, and there are too many of us. It wouldn't be safe to go together."
Qian Renxue thought for a moment, then said decisively, "Then the two of us can go. Just us."
Tang Ya had been listening nearby. Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly stepped forward of her own accord:
"Brother Sheng, you and Bibi Xue go. I'll take Yuhao out of here first."
With that, she turned to Huo Yuhao and continued:
"Little Hao, would you like to study at Shrek Academy?"
Huo Yuhao froze, then his eyes widened. "Shrek, the number one academy on the continent?"
Tang Ya nodded. "Yes."
Delight appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. Without a second thought, he nodded vigorously. "I would!"
In the Douluo I world, everyone at Shrek Academy burst into cheers.
Flender's face turned red with excitement, and he threw his head back and laughed:
"Hahaha! Ten thousand years from now, the number one academy on the continent! My Shrek is the number one academy on the continent! I knew I, Flender, had a good eye!"
Beside him, Dai Mubai's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "This Shrek can become the number one academy on the continent?"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were equally astonished and incredulous.
At the Rose Hotel, Tang San froze when he heard the voice from the Sky Screen. Then he suddenly turned to Xiao Wu and said in delight:
"Xiao Wu, the Shrek that Teacher mentioned will actually be the number one academy on the continent ten thousand years from now! Let's hurry over and sign up!"
When Xiao Wu heard that, her heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself:
No, there must be powerful experts at Shrek. I can't go. It's too dangerous. I need to run away quickly.
Her eyes darted around, and she clutched her stomach, forcing a pained look onto her face:
"Little San, you go ahead. My stomach hurts a little, so I'm going to the bathroom. I'll come over in a bit."
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with concern and nodded. "Xiao Wu, hurry back. I'll wait and go with you."
An idea flashed through Xiao Wu's mind, and she hurriedly waved her hands. "Little San, hurry on over. I don't want to stand in line. I'll come find you later."
Tang San thought that made sense. Not wanting Xiao Wu to tire herself out standing in line, he stopped insisting and said gently:
"All right, I'll go line up first. Take your time. There's no rush."
With that, he turned and left the room, hurrying toward Shrek's registration area.
When Xiao Wu saw that Tang San had left, the "pain" vanished from her face in an instant. She hurriedly gathered her things,
pushed open the window, and nimbly climbed out. Once she landed, she raced toward the outskirts of the city without looking back.
At Shrek's registration area, the prospective students waiting in line also began discussing what they had heard from the Sky Screen.
"The number one academy on the continent? With this run-down registration area?"
"It's number one on the continent ten thousand years from now, but what about now? It sure doesn't look like it..."
In the line, Zhu Zhuqing folded her arms and watched the Sky Screen with a cold expression, though her thoughts were in turmoil.
She hadn't expected to run into such a pleasant surprise while looking for that bastard Dai Mubai.
The number one academy on the continent ten thousand years from now-surely this academy could help her grow stronger quickly?
Beside her, Ning Rongrong held her chin high, eyeing the registration area before her, where even the sign hung crookedly. Her face full of disbelief, she muttered:
"This shabby school will be the number one academy on the continent ten thousand years from now? You've got to be kidding."
"I'm going inside to see what's going on!"
In the animated Douluo II world, the various factions beneath the Sky Screen were shaken.
"Huo Yuhao went to Shrek?!"
"Shrek is already powerful, and now they're taking in a prospect with a Million-Year Soul Ring? How can we let that happen?"
"Get to Shrek! No matter what it takes, we have to snatch him!"
"Quick, send people to keep an eye on Shrek. See if they can find a chance to get in touch with that Huo Yuhao!"
The various factions' hidden agents sprang into action, and communication Soul Tools lit up everywhere.
Du Busi, who was flying toward the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family, saw on the Sky Screen that Huo Yuhao had entered Shrek. He slammed to a halt in midair, his expression changing.
Without another word, he turned and flew toward the Body Sect, even faster than he had come.
Shrek? Damn Shrek! Shrek again!
Just wait, your Grandpa Du will be there soon!
He was going straight back to the Body Sect to gather his people and snatch Huo Yuhao from Shrek!
At Shrek, beneath the tree by the Sea God Pavilion.
Mu En frowned as he watched the Sky Screen.
This is bad!
Now that the news of Huo Yuhao being at Shrek had been exposed, wouldn't all those factions eyeing the Million-Year Soul Ring come swarming toward Shrek?
The Sun Moon Empire, the Holy Spirit Cult, the Body Sect... Shrek is probably about to face unprecedented trouble!
Beside him, Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stared at the Sky Screen, their faces utterly devoid of hope.
We're done for. Now our whereabouts have been exposed!
The Sky Screen has screwed us over! Damn Sky Screen!
In the scene on the Sky Screen, Tang Ya beckoned to Huo Yuhao. "Little Hao, let's go. I'll take you to register at Shrek."
Huo Yuhao hurried after her. As he passed Mu Sheng, he politely called out, "Brother Sheng, I'll be going first!"
When Tang Ya reached Mu Sheng, she suddenly leaned close to his ear and lowered her voice, saying with a hint of mischief:
"Brother Sheng, I think this Bibi Xue is quite talented, and she's a bit of an airhead. Why don't you take her?"
Mu Sheng replied in a low voice, annoyed:
"Xiao Ya, didn't you always want to have me all to yourself before? When did you become so selfless?"
Tang Ya wasn't annoyed in the slightest. Instead, she puffed out her chest with perfect confidence:
"It's because you're too outstanding, Brother Sheng. Rather than worry about gaining and losing you every day, I might as well take the initiative! I'm going to be the second wife, just below Sister Lexuan!"
With that, she winked at Mu Sheng. The rose-red bow on her ponytail bobbed as she ran toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao hurried after her.
Mu Sheng stood where he was, watching Tang Ya's retreating figure as she skipped away. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he shook his head helplessly, muttering under his breath:
"That girl... she's getting more and more outrageous."
Qian Renxue hadn't heard what they said. She merely gave Mu Sheng a puzzled look. "What did Tang Ya say to you? You were being so secretive."
Without a change in expression, Mu Sheng said, "Nothing. She told me to take good care of you."
Qian Renxue gave a doubtful "Oh" and asked no more. Instead, she urged him on. "Let's go too. I can hardly wait."
Mu Sheng nodded and said no more, leading Qian Renxue swiftly toward Light Valley.
The two deliberately suppressed their Soul Power fluctuations, avoiding the territories of several Ferocious Beasts in the core region as they traveled beneath the shadows of the treetops.
Qian Renxue followed behind him and discovered that Mu Sheng was absurdly familiar with the terrain of the Star Dou Great Forest's core region.
He skirted around roads with Soul Beast nests and patches of forest patrolled by Ferocious Beasts without even pausing, as though he carried a living map in his head.
She was deeply puzzled. Could Mu Sheng have Spiritual Detection too?!
About half an hour later, the forest ahead suddenly thinned, revealing a valley brightly illuminated by sunlight.
The plants in the valley shimmered with a faint silver light, and even the soil was embedded with tiny fragments of glowing ore. A warm, sacred presence filled the air.
Mu Sheng pulled Qian Renxue behind a massive rock and pointed toward the center of the valley. "We're here. That's the Heavenly Dragon Horse."
Qian Renxue looked in the direction he pointed and saw a magnificent, pure-white horse lying in the middle of the valley.
The horse looked extremely unusual. Its body was that of a horse, but its head was shaped like a dragon's. White dragon scales stretched from its forehead to the back of its neck, then covered its entire spine.
It was about four meters long and around two and a half meters tall. Its physique could certainly be called majestic, but its eyes were terribly dull, and its muscles were somewhat slack, as though it had reached the end of its life.
Most eye-catching of all was the diamond-shaped, pale-golden gem embedded in its forehead. It radiated a soft yet brilliant light, and even in its declining twilight years, that pure presence of light still brought warmth to the heart.
Qian Renxue examined it briefly, a hint of distaste appearing on her face:
"This is it? It looks like it's about to die of old age. Mu Sheng, are you sure this thing is a Heavenly Dragon Horse with nearly thirty thousand years of cultivation? Will its Soul Ring be good enough?"
